It seems those that got it got over it quickly. What ever it was came and went and left no trace. Perhaps it is a mild flu. Maybe those kids are
the lucky ones. Before the great flu pandemic started, a mild flu occurred. The
first ones to get it were only slightly ill. Later it mutated and became much more virulent. But the mild infection the season before left those
people with anitbodies that helped them to fend it off. The pandemic was fast. Read these quotes: "People were struck with illness on the street
and died rapid deaths. One anectode shared of 1918 was of four women playing bridge together late into the night. Overnight, three of the women died
from influenza (Hoagg). Others told stories of people on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours (Henig). One physician
writes that patients with seemingly ordinary influenza would rapidly "develop the most viscous type of pneumonia that has ever been seen" and later
when cyanosis appeared in the patients, "it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate," Take from virus.stanford.edu...

When I was in middle school we all the students and teachers got sick very quickly but were feeling fine within 24 hours. We had the fever, chills,
running nose, cough, nausea, vomiting and diareha. I got infected and so did all of my classmates, and basically the whole middle school. It doesn't
surprise me that people are recovering fast.i honestly don't think this is anything to worry about. We also had the same thing happen when i was
living overseas in Germany when my family was in the military again, same symptoms. Came and went wicked fast. It's just the flu, that's it!

The Flu?

Never heard of entire schools being disinfected if the "flu"was going around.....

If your going to challenge people, and they beat your challenge, you should resign gracefully.

Can't you read properly or something? You listed one event. That DOES NOT meet my challenge! Anyone can list one event and say "see it
happens". I suggest you go back and read what my challenge was. My point is that these events are happening so rapidly. Simple stomach flu's don't
typically require that whole schools be sterilized or closed, that's absurd. They way this illness has caught everyone by surprise is very suspicious
imo. When it first hits they all freak out and think it could be food poisoning or a gas leak. But it always remains a mystery for a few days, until
the officials finally say it's either Norovirus or Shigella. However, the incubation period for Norovirus is a MINIMUM of 24 hours. Shigella typically
takes even longer before the symptoms appear. And in both of these cases the pathogen typically comes from a single source. In all of these cases they
were unable to find the source of the pathogen which initially caused the kids to be sick. So I assume that's why they opted to disinfect the entire
school in some cases.

EDIT: And you do realize, all the stories you just posted (except the Alaskan cruise story) are from either this month or late last month?

Nice post. One of those events happened in Jamaica and another in Angola, but they could be related. However, one of those stories you found is
remarkably similar to the event in Houston.

LOVELAND - More than 50 people were taken to the hospital Tuesday after unknown fumes made them sick at an elementary school in
Loveland.

The Loveland officials say Winona Elementary School was evacuated after several students complained of nausea and dizziness.

The Loveland Fire Department says a possible gas leak in the school could have caused those symptoms. Firefighters then checked the building,
but did not detect any gas fumes in the air. The cause of the sickness is still unknown.

"I can tell you the school district always puts school district and faculty safety number one. That's first and foremost. If there's any potential
possibility of an issue inside the school, they will not open it," Chief of Loveland Fire and Rescue Merlin Green said.

Several parents say without definite answers, they are left feeling uneasy.

"I'm wondering if I should have [my daughter] checked out myself," parent Deanna Gloyd said.

I've skimmed this and unless I over looked nobody has realized that maybe the CDC in Atlanta are using and testing virus, The anthrax virus they have
it and one other place in the world have it so, and I'v been saying this for years, I think the CDC are experiment on us to control population as well
as get federal funding to remain open to say hey we are working. the graph ofthe united states unless its changed the outbreaks were not even in
Georgia. I have never trusted them and when learning about them in school just raised my suspicions. And I bet there are more center around the world
of containing and testing or even modifying more effective and more deadly viruses for maybe even warfare at our expense.

Lindsey is the deputy director for the Laboratory Science Policy and Practice Program Office at the CDC, according to her biography on the
agency's website.

Prior to her current role, Lindsey was the senior health scientist in the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. That office oversees the
allocation process for $1.5 billion in terrorism preparedness.

In her 12 years at the CDC, Lindsey has received 12 awards for outstanding performance on projects and programs, according to her bio on Emory
University's Biological and Biomedical Sciences website. Lindsey earned her doctorate in immunology and molecular pathogenesis from the university in
1998, a year before she began work at the CDC.

I recently purchased some bottled spring water (I rarely buy it because my tap water is good) because I am preparing for a national emergency. Within
one hour of drinking about two full bottles, I had a violent vomiting episode, and all that was in my tummy was that water.

Perhaps it is the bottled water that made people sick?

Me personally, I am considering a return of the case of bottled water. It really did kind of smell funny.

Yeah........ Thank frikken god I live in the country and have well water...... City tap ads poison, bottled "water" adds poison. So amazing.....

A scary thought I have had for years: If I were an evil terrorist bastard type leader, I would have my minions be infiltrating as many different
food/beverage manufacturers for years, climbing as far up the chain as they could get etc. I would wait for the right moment, say, I don't know,
government shutdown perhaps? Then have the minions contaminate all at once. Like I said, scary thought.
